PUBLISHERS'  NOTICE. 


It  is  proper  to  state  that  the  editors  fully 
recognize  as  good  people  out  of  this  book  as 
in  it.  With  the  criterion,  however,  on  which 
the  list  is  based  :  active  prominence  in 
favshionable  society  and  church-social  affairs, 
it  can  comprise  only  those  who,  for  various 
reasons,  are  thus  notable  in  the  several 
social  exchanges  of  the  city. 

Criticism  doubtless  there  will  be,  for,  as  in 
the  choice  of  one  thousand  books,  while 
tw^o-thirds,  or  more,  might  be  generally 
agreed  upon,  as  to  the  rest  there  would  be 
varying  individual  opinion. 

This  is  the  first  Social  Index  ever  pub- 
lished in  Springfield.  The  next  annual  will 
be  issued  early  in  1890  with  several  novel 
features.  Suggestions  and  corrections  are 
alwaj^s  appreciated,  and  if,  by  typographi- 
cal or  clerical  error,  omissions  of  names  have 
occurred,  the  publishers  would  be  thankful 
for  notification.  In  the  natural  process  of 
progression  the  succeeding  work  will  be  an 
improved  one.

Draperies,  Mantels   and  Art   Corners 
Arranged. ' 

First  class  work,  such  as  nobody  looks  for  in  cities 

the  size  of  Springfield.  It  is  not  expected';  all  the  more  reason  for 
doing  the  work  acceptably. 

We  have  employed  a  designer  learned  in  the  princi- 
ples of  Art,  experienced  in  the  application  of  them  to  Upholstery 
of  the  very  highest  order,  and  with  capacity  to  originate ;  so  that 
his  work  should  be  true  and  new. 

We  have  also  secured  a  like  degree  of  completeness 

in  the  several  sorts  of  work  that  contribute  to  the  deserving  of 
success  in  the  transforming  of  bare  houses  into  homes  of  elegance 
and  polite  luxury. 

We  shall  have  no  hesitation  in  undertaking  within 

a  reasonable  time  the  upholstery  of  a  hundred  houses  successfull3% 
and  have  no  one  of  them  suggest  another,  so  great  is  the  diversity 
of  which  this  designer's  Art  of  Upholstery  is  capable. 

Estimates  for  the  Asking. 


The   materials  for  interior  decoration  are  many, 

WE   SHOW   A   LARGE   VARIETY   OF 

Spun  Silk  Tapestries,  Silk  Velour  Titians, 

Plain  and  Figured  Plushes,     Derby  and  Turkish  Satins, 
Silk  Brocades  and  Brocatelles,      Renaissance  and  Satin  Damasks, 
Soft  Eastern  Silks  with  Fringes  and  Loops  to  match. 

Lace  Curtains — more  than  in  all  Springfield  com- 
bined, twice  over  perhaps.     Time  was  when  we  couldn't  say  that. 
Swiss,  $4  to  $25  a  window. 
Guipure,  $5  to  $30  a  window.

Leading  Social  Clubs  of  Springfield 


WINTHROP  CLUB. 

The  Winthrop  Club  was  organized  Dec.  12,  1874  and 
incorporated  Oct.  3,  1881.  It  comprises  much  of 
the  male  social  life  of  the  city,  and  has  in  Kirkhani  and 
Olmsted's  block  on  State  street  the  handsomest  and 
best  appointed  club  rooms  in  New  England, —  only 
surpassed  by  one  or  two  in  New  York.  They  -were  fit- 
ted up  at  an  expense  of  $15,000.  The  club  is  a  very  ele- 
gant resort ;  the  receipts  of  the  billiard  room  alone  are 
about  $2,000  a  j'ear.  The  membership  is  limited  to 
350,  and  stands  at  that  figure,  with  dozens  of  applica- 
tions on  file.

SPRINGFIELD    CLUB. 

The  oldest  distinguished  social  organization  in  the 
city.  For  the  past  20  years  it  has  been  a  leading  factor 
in  the  social  life  of  Springfield,  and  in  its  elegant  club 
house  at  the  comer  of  Chestnut  and  Worthington 
streets,  has  entertained  nearly  all  the  notable  visitors 
to  the  city,  its  registry  roll  showing  the  autographs  of 
U.  S.  Grant,  Schuyler  Colfax,  Booth,  Irving,  Barrett, 
and  scores  of  others.  The  club  house  has  a  thoroughly 
appointed  refreshment  department,  and  its  banquet 
menus  rank  high  in  the  artistic.  The  membership  is 
limited  to  100  and  stands  now  at  70.  The  members, 
with  the  modesty  of  conscious  merit,  shun  publicity.

SOCIETY 


What  is  society? 

The  average  man  has  an  idea  it  is  a  collec- 
tion of  people  who  do  not  work,  wear  fine 
clothes,  live  in  fine  houses,  have  coachmen  and 
horses  and  plenty  of  money,  who  think  them- 
selves better  than  the  rest,  and  do  not  associ- 
ate with  them  if  they  can  help  it.  In  a  cer- 
tain measure  this  is  not  qnite  an  incorrect 
idea,  but  it  is  somewhat  strange  that  the  test 
of  accomplishments,  culture,  learning,  is  evi- 
dently not  included  in  this  popular  notion. 
Apparentlv  the  average  citizen  looks  at  the 
outward  symptons  of  wealth  as  the  test,  and 
he  is  not  mistaken  when  applied  to  a  good 
many  cliques  and  subdivisions, of  society. 

The  requirements  of  society  consist  alto- 
gether too  much  in  wealth  as  expressed  by 
some  form  of  expenditure.  But  on  closer 
investigation  it  will  be  found  that  brains  and 
true  learning,  refinements,  social  tact,  and 
even  beauty,  are  as  good  passwords  to  society 
as  ready  cash.  Were  the  latter  the  only  test 
of  society  the  contempt  into  which  it  would 
soon  fall  on  the  part  of  intellectual  people 
would  be  fatal  to  its  existence.  Shoddy  pure 
and  simple  is  tolerated  in  society  because  it 

53 


willcro^vditself  in,  but  is  considered  decidedly 
objectionable.  A  boy  whose  mother  belonged 
to  society  in  its  finest  form,  with  brains, 
wealth,  refinement,  once  asked  the  writer  with 
apparent  anxiety  what  he  could  understand 
by  shoddy  or  codfish  society,  'and  the  lad  was 
evidently  greatly  relieved  when  he  found  that 
his  mother,  and  consequently  he  himself,  could 
never  belong  to  it.  As  a  rule  the  women  of 
society  are  considerably  more  refined  than  the 
men,  who  are  sometimes  as  crude  as  the  work- 
men they  employ. 

Among  the  ridiculous  forms  of  shoddy  so- 
ciety may  be  classed  the  horse  society,  the 
dress  society,  ancestry  societj^,  and  money 
society.  The  first  belongs  to  the  solidungula, 
or  animial  kingdom ;  the  second  to  the  rumi- 
nantes,  or  the  vegetable  kingdom ;  the  third 
to  paleontology,  and  the  last  to  the  mineral 
kingdom ;  therefore  proper  specimens  for  mu- 
seums, but  not  for  daily  intercourse  with  man, 
who  is  supposed  to  carry  about  fifty  ounces 
of  brain  matter.  Horse-society  requires 
its  disciples  to  worship  the  divine  beast,  to 
talk  about  the  horse's  perspiration,  diges- 
tion and  muscular  action  with  a  stable-per- 
fumed awe ;  it  is  the  coachman  in  the  parlor. 
Dress  society  talks  about  prospective  rags, 
—for  the  subject  of  their  talk  will  sooner  or 
later  join  the  ragman's  collection.  Ancestry 
society  causes  a  smile  on  every  sensible  per- 
son's face;  those  who  have  their  pride  in  past 
doings  of  their  fathers  and  grandfathers  have 
probably  little  cause  to  be  proud  of  them- 
selves :  their  ftiture  is  in  the  past,  and  often  a

very  uncertain  past.  Money  society  com- 
mands the  respect  and  awe  of  the  masses 
more  than  the  others ;  but  is  often  the  least 
deserving  of  respect. 

"Society",  Hke  measles,  rages  in  its  most 
offensive  "form  amiong  the  young,  say  from 
15  to  22  years,  and  among  soured  elderly 
persons  of  means.  The  age  of  vigor,  enter- 
prize  and  activity  is  usually   free   from    it. 

Society  has  also  a  decided  business  point 
in  that  it  is  a  defense  of  the  moneyed  society 
family  against  adventurers  and  speculators. 
Mothers  with  marriageable  daughters  can- 
not be  blamed  if  they  throw^  around  them 
an  imaginary  hedge  by  impressing  them 
with  the  idea  that  they  are  society.  Unfor- 
tunately natural  perverseness  now  and  then 
finds  even  a  coachman  better  to  its  liking 
than  what  is  offered  as  the  correct  style. 
Much  that  is  said  against  society  is  pure 
and  simple  envy;  w^hat  deserves  criticism  is 
the  shallow  and  insipid  way  in  which  it 
worships  at  the  shrine  of  its  little  tin  gods. 

Once  in  a  while  society  can  show  itself  to 
the  critical  outer  world,  beyond  its  sacred 
circle,  but  such  events  are  rare:  a  charity 
ball  or  theatrical  performance,  or  a  centennial 
are  such  occasions. 

For  a  town  of  its  size,  Springfield  is  re- 
markably free  from  offensive  society;  a  few 
little  cliques  worship  the  beast,  the  rag,  the 
tombstone  and  the  greenback,  but  as  a  rule, 
one  finds  as  much  sense  in  society  as 
among  those  who  consider  themselves  not 
in  the  swim.    Among  its  45,000  inhabitants 


something  less  than  one  thousand  constitute 
"society;"  five  thousand  more  can  go  into 
it  if  they  care  to,  and  the  other  25,000  may 
be  excellent  men  and  women,  but  they  would 
even  feel  ill  at  ease  among  society  and  would 
consider  it  rather  an  outrage  and  a  bore  to 
have  to  belong  to  it.  The  balance  (child- 
ren) of  course  does  not  count.  In  an\^  small 
city  like  Springfield  where  church  is  such  a 
predominant  element  there  exists  a  little 
hint  of  society  in  each  church,  little  cliques 
who  deem  themselves  better  than  the  rest, 
holier  perhaps,  posessing  more  refinement, 
social  t£Lct,  etc.  They  have,  at  the  worst, 
some  little  undemocratic  notions,  that,  in 
view  of  the  environment,  sometimes  seem 
ridiculous,  but  which  do  not  as  a  rule  affect 
their  being  excellent  men  and  women. 

A  gentleman  who  passed  several  months 
in  this  citj^  m.ade  the  rather  hasty  general- 
ization that  Springfield  society  was  composed 
mainly  of  those  whose  fathers  had  made 
their  money  and  those  who  had  their  money 
yet  to  make.  This  is  manifestly  unjust  to  the 
appreciable  number  Vk^ho  are  themselves 
bravely  and  successfully  accumulating  means, 
and  in  societj.^  too ;  and  to  others  who  wath 
little  v\.^ealth  but  their  minds  and  social  re- 
finement help  to  make  up  the  choicest  circles. 
Springfield  is  far  more  democratic  than  many 
cities,  but  it  smoothes  the  pathwa3'  into  the 
upper  strata  to  belong  to  certain  churches. 
For  instance,  local  society  has  the  odd  no- 
tion that  it  is  not  quite  the  correct  style  to 
be  a  Baptist  or  a  Methodist,   not  to  speak 


of  others,  though  the  Catholic  is  not  ques- 
tioned. 

One  very  sensible  society  lady  not  long  ago 
remarked  correct!}^  on  the  absence,  in  our  soci- 
ety, of  the  social  bachelors  who  form  such  a 
pleasant  and  enlivening  element  in  that  of 
Europe.  To  certain  degree  this  is  due,  I  think, 
to  the  society  ladies.  They  are  not  congenial 
as  an  aggregate ; —  they  have  not  been  educa- 
ted in  the  science  of  amusements,  which  is 
something  to  be  learned  and  taught  just  as 
much  as  the  science  of  politeness  and  good- 
breeding. 

If  we  have  a  large  proportion  in  a  commu- 
nity like  Springfield  influenced  by  ministers 
very  often  educated  in  small  colleges  situated 
in  small  towns,  who  look  upon  every  sort  of 
pastime  as  diabolical,  or  at  least  question- 
able,— (not  necessarily  from  conviction,  but 
because  it  is  apt  to  make  their  calling  less  im- 
portant, ) — and  who  surround  themselves  ^vitli 
this  superstitious  notion, — the  feeling  of  ease 
in  the  society  of  such  parties  is  taken  a^way, 
for  politeness  will  require  respecting  their  sen- 
timents however  much  w^e  differ  ^th  them. 

The  xoresence  of  a  single  such  notional  per- 
son, even  among  a  large  crowd  of  those  other- 
wise inclined,  casts  a  damper  that  makes  it 
desirable  to  stay  away.  The  whole  amuse- 
m.ent  will  be  reduced  to  some  cheap  talky- 
talk,  showing  oif  your  dresses,  j^our  tailor- 
made  clothes,  and  separating  with  that  uni- 
versal fib —  "I  have  enjoyed  a  very  delightful 
evening." 

The  men,  as  a  rule,  have  to  behave  at  such 

57 


social  gatherings  like  so  manj^  women  dressed 
in  pants,  and  a  jovial,  social  bachelor  rather 
prefers  to  stay  at  home  or  go  to  bed  instead 
of  being  bored  with  general  insiyjidity. 

Furthermore,  the  tistial  st^de  of  hospitality 
does  not  admit  of  sufficient  diversion.  To  be 
a  success  it  has  to  be  adapted  to  one's  liking. 
Now,  everyone  doesn't  like  a  church  sociable 
and  a  tem])erance  lecture  carried  on  in  the 
parlor.  The  element  of  compuksion  to  do 
things  just  as  the  manager  of  such  an  aftair 
likes  to  have  them  come  oif  is  entirely  hostile 
to  true  sociability.  At  every  step  these  dom- 
inant notions  are  forced  down  the  throats  of 
the  guests,  and  as  it  is  a  universal  observation 
that  the  most  sociable  are  the  most  liberal 
minded,  they'll  stay  away, —  being  very  often 
compelled  to  seek  a  so-called  inferior  amuse- 
ment, (with  others  who  are  crowded  away  by 
the  same  consideration,)  in  the  club-room. 

Hence,  men's  clubs  thrive,  grow  large  and 
multiply,  and  it  is  in  them  that  our  society 
men  are  coming  to  find  the  most  delightful 
companionship,  the  practice  of  the  science  of 
proper  amusement  that  distinguishes  the  ctil- 
tivated  man  from  the  other,  and  which  is  de- 
nied them  in  the  church  social  or  prim  parlor 
party. 

Yet  this  atmosphere  the  ladies  might,  if 
they  would,  in  a  measure,  have  around  them, 
and  without  encroaching  upon  the  club,  make 
the  gatherings  in  v^liich  they  are  predom- 
inant equally  or  perhaps  more  attractive 
than  the  clubs.
